I have 1x3TB WD RED + 1x 4TB WD RED, and with read striping enabled, drive pool insists on reading only from the slightly faster 4TB HDD. I'm copying a 6GB file to a RAMDisk, so that is not a bottleneck. I get around 160MB/S with striping enable/disabled, that's the max speed of the 4TB drive. During the transfer i can see for brief moments the 3TB hdd showing up in the performance tab, but it goes away almost instantly!
I understand i wont get the total sum of read speed of both HDD, but i expected a improvement, even if only 10MB/s or something, at this time i don't see ANY improvement.
OS Windows server 2016
Folder duplication is enabled 2x on the file i was testing.
